Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the mutation, synthesis and selection of a protein which binds to a target molecule, the method comprising: (a) incubating a replicable mRNA molecule encoding the protein with ribonucleoside triphosphate precursors of RNA and an RNA-directed RNA polymerase, wherein the RNA-directed RNA polymerase replicates the mRNA molecule but introduces mutations thereby generating a population of mutant mRNA molecules; (b) incubating the mutant mRNA molecules from step (a) with a translation system under conditions which results in the synthesis of population of mutant proteins such that after translation, mutant proteins are linked to their encoding mRNA molecules thereby forming a population of mutant proteins such that after translation, mutant proteins are linked to their encoding mRNA molecules thereby forming a population of mutant/mRNA complexes; (c) selecting one or more mutant protein/mRNA complex(es) by exposing the population of mutant protein/mRNA complexes from step (b) to the target molecule and recovering the mutant protein/mRNA complex(es) bound thereto.

Abstract: An applicator for applying and distributing a substance onto a target surface. The applicator comprises a substantially planar sheet of compressible, conformable material having opposed first and second surfaces and an interior region between the first and second surfaces. The sheet of material has a thickness between the first and second surfaces which decreases when the sheet of material is subjected to an externally-applied force in a direction substantially normal to the first surface. The applicator further includes at least one discrete reservoir extending inwardly of the first surface into the interior of the sheet of material which is at least partially filled with a substance and at least one discrete aperture formed in the first surface which is in fluid communication with the reservoir. Compression of the sheet of material via an externally-applied force substantially normal to the first surface expresses product from the aperture and translational motion of the first surface relative to a target surface applies and distributes the product onto the target surface. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of apertures are associated with corresponding reservoirs forming a delivery zone near one end of a hand-held applicator, and the sheet material is preferably resilient both in compression and in bending to conform to irregular target surfaces. A wide variety of substances are contemplated, including particularly antiperspirant/deodorant products. Other embodiments include a single reservoir feeding a plurality of apertures.

Abstract: A circuit capable of reducing a consumption current is provided for a digital display device composed of unipolar TFTs. There is provided a latch circuit for holding a digital video signal. According to the latch circuit, when the digital video signal is inputted to an input electrode of a TFT ( 101 ), a non-inverting output signal is outputted from an output electrode of the TFT ( 101 ) and an inverting output signal is outputted from output electrodes of TFTs ( 102 and 103 ). Two line outputs of non-inversion and inversion are obtained. Thus, when a buffer located in a subsequent stage is operated, a period for which a direct current path is produced between a high potential and a low potential of a power source can be shortened, thereby contributing to reduction in a consumption current.

Abstract: Techniques for puncturing symbols in a communications system. S symbols are received for a frame having a capacity of N symbols, with S being greater than N. P symbols need to be punctured so that remaining symbols fit into the frame. A number of puncture distances, D1 through DN, are computed based on S and P. A particular number of symbol punctures is determined for each computed puncture distance. P1 through PN symbol punctures are then performed at the distances of D1 through DN, respectively. For a more even distribution of the symbol punctures, each of the distances D1 through DN can be selected to be greater than or equal to a minimum puncture distance Dmin defined as Dmin = [SIP], where [] denotes a floor operator. The symbol punctures at each computed distance can be performed together or distributed with symbol punctures at other distances. In the alternative, an accumulator is configured to wrap around after it has been incremented to a value of S, each increment being of size P. A symbol index is incremented by one each time the accumulator is incremented by P, until the symbol index exceeds the value S. The process is advantageously begun with a puncture. Each time the accumulator wraps around, another puncture is performed.

Abstract: The invention comprises a geared drive ring coupler. The geared drive ring coupler comprises two pairs of adjacent drive rings rotatably connected to each end of a frame. Each pair of drive rings is meshed together with the cooperating pair of drive rings on the opposing end of the frame. The relative spatial arrangement of the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings is maintained by the frame, which in turn holds the drive rings in a predetermined relationship between the pulley sheaves. The drive rings on the driver pulley turn in the same direction as the driver pulley through frictional contact with the sides of the CVT driver pulley sheaves. The drive rings on the driven pulley side rotate in the opposite direction to the drive rings on the driver pulley, since they are meshed together. The driven drive rings are then in frictional contact with the sides of the driven pulley sheaves, thereby driving the driven pulley. The effective diameter or radius of each pulley is adjusted by movement of the pulley sheaves. Movement of the pulley sheaves causes the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings to move eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation of their respective pulley. Since the drive rings are mechanically connected, the drive rings move with the frame as a unit in response to the movement of the pulley sheaves, thereby changing the effective gear ratio of the transmission.
